The Great Reset: Modernizing the Partnerships among HR and People Managers in Today's Resilience Economy

Original Air Date: 9/9/2020

In the last decade, high-performing organizations have risen to the challenge of working more strategically to support organizational objectives, demonstrating the value of talent initiatives, and collaborating more closely with functional teams in the organization. They’ve also seized upon a vital asset within their organization to create a competitive advantage: their people managers.

However, most organizations must do more work to manage the evolving relationship between HR and internal stakeholders. What needs to change? And why is right now – in the midst of a global pandemic – the time for a strategic reset?
To increase legitimacy with people managers – especially those in operations or on the frontlines, far removed from a corporate office – HR must become fluent in communicating how it drives business value, in particular, how better internal partnerships can enhance the employee experience and in turn, unlock better business outcomes.
